GETTING TO MEET AND KNOW THE REAL HENRY PAUL
For many years I listened to THE OUTLAWS music with my favorite tune Green Grass and High Tides . Now I first saw them back in the late 70's with singer HENRY PAUL and drummer MONTE YOHO and jumped at the chance to see them at a local venue with Henry and Monte still rockin the band.
HotDog and I ventured down before the show in hopes of meeting them prior to their sound check. We waited for a short time and met and talked with Monte for a while as he arrived early in his own car as he continues to enjoy his smokes, Never missing the opportunity for a few when he has down time.
HENRY PAUL arrived with 3 of the other members and is tall in stature and he gives an impression of some intimidation. I and he even mentioned to us that there is some unfavorable press and writings about him, BUT I can say that is purely false. He was accommodating to sign a couple of photos and even more patient with some camera malfunctions and took a picture with both of us.
He spoke about the last night show being sold out and having a terrific crowd and discussed aspects of his music with a smile when I said
" The Henry Paul Band was a sound of its own".
Now here is the kicker. I told him that I was going to write about our meeting him in the blog and asked does he ever really check what is written on Google and such. He told us " Most Definitely" which is really one of the first artists who came out honestly that he does follow will follow some of the social media and not like some who appeared that they never thought about it. Henry is First Class in my book as were the rest of the band. Though the band is different in the faces and names, They still put on one great concert.
